  1. boonecountry: Nice job. thumbs_up.gif

     

    I'm thinking of a solo attempt myself sometime this weekend, and I'm curious as to your times:

     

    You left WRCG at 4:00 p.m., hit Thumb Rock at 1:30 a.m. (you said p.m.), slept until 3:30 a.m. (you said p.m.), then summited at 11:30 - 8 hours later.

     

    Then you were back at your car at 3:00 p.m. (23 hours), which means 3.5 hours from summit to car.

     

    Are these times pretty accurate or guesstimates?

     

    Thanks.

  2. Nice job thumbs_up.gif

     

    Couple questions:

     

    1. Did you have an ice axe and ice tool w/you or just one ice axe?

    2. Did you bring any screws?

    3. Did you bring any pickets?

    4. Last, when you left Thumb Rock, was there a trail going up and to the climber's left?

     

    Thanks.

  3. I'm trying to get lighter with my clothing system on stuff like Rainier, etc.

     

    Right now I carry a DAS jacket, GTX shell (13 oz.), Puffball jacket, Schoeller jacket, windshirt, in addition to a silkweight top that I wear.

     

    I usually don't carry a sleeping bag.

     

    Should I be leaving any of this shit at home? And I know, it's all relative as to how cold you get, etc., etc., etc.

     

    Thanks.

  4. I'm buying a new bivy sack.

     

    My options are a regular size, fits up to 6'1"; or the long version, fits up to 6'6", or something like that.

     

    I'm 5'6" tall.

     

    Is there an advantage to buying the long version or should I get the regular size?

     

    TIA.
